Michelangela Renaldi

Beginnings

A lone woman was walking along a river in Kingston, New York. Her name was Anna Renaldi. She and her husband had finished an important business deal with a client which would make them a lot of money in the long run, but right now she needed a breather.

It had been 5 years since she married her husband Richard, but despite all the money they had, the one thing they didn't have was a child. They tried for one for a while after 3 years of marrage, but they soon learned that they were both infertile. The couple still loved each other, and didn't want to divorce either. 

They may be a wealthy couple with everything on a silver platter...

But there may be no other couple more miserable.

(Wah, Wah, WAAAAAAAAAAAH!)

Anna's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a cry. Which sounded like it was from the Roudout Creek. 

Without thinking of how her tailor suit and skirt would turn out, she ran to the edge of the river and was surprised to find what appeared to be a baby on the creek shore. 

Anna took off her jacket to use it as a blanket because the poor thing looked like it was shivering!

Upon closer inspection, the child appeared to be completely hairless except for a patch of light ginger hair that was almost orange. The child had what seemed to be light green skin, along with three fingers and a thumb on her hands, along with a small flexable but sturdy shell on her back. But what really caught her attention was the baby's eyes.

They was a bright shade of baby blue that Anna never saw in anyone's eyes before.

Before she knew it, Anna took the baby back to the limo to wait for her husband.

"Anna, where did you find this child?" Richard asked his wife when he saw the strange child.

"By the creek near town. The child was alone. I could guess he or she was abandoned because of their appearance." Anna said with bitterness as she held the baby close. If there's one thing she couldn't stand it was when such a tiny life was left for death. 

Richard sighed sadly as he looked the child.

The two made up their mind to adopt the child once they determined it's gender.

--------------------------------------------

They already got a doctor/vet friend that would keep their secret of the child. He found that the child, a girl, somehow had the DNA of a slider turtle in it's veins along with something it couldn't identify. He hypothesized that the child may have been experimented on after being born from a surrogate mother, before muttering about 'ungrateful hypocritical government conspirators'.

Richard and Anna wer a little stumped on what they should name their new daughter, until Anna recalled looking at one of her old books that she read of Italian Artists, and she also thought that the child they found was a message, a gift of an angel. 

So they decided that Michelangela Renaldi would be her new name.
